Real friends don't ask you to compromise your integrity to stay your friend. If they do, they aren't worth keeping as friends. However, it doesn't hurt to tell a white lie now and then to keep someone from getting their feelings hurt. Everybody does that and everybody should.
As far as expecting you to think like they do, if they really value you as a person they won't do that. If they demand you think like them to stay friendly, they can go to hell.
